Not to me it doesn’t.
What it means to you is not definitive.
Do you own a dictionary?
The problem with your attempt to twist my words into supporting your argument is that you don't have the facts on your side.
There is absolutely nothing that is in any way significant that "disqualifies" DSC as being a Prequel according to the dictionary and cultural definition of that term.
So in the words of Willy Wonka, "You get nothing. You lose. Good day, Sir".
tbh, it is 2019. facts stopped to matter somewhere in the last decade or so. I vaguely remember facts, I think I liked them, as far as I recall, but they have gone the way of the Dodo

What a sad and defeatist attitude to have.
just an observation of the world we live in
Again, what a sad and defeatist attitude to have.
Yes, the world we live in right now sucks; however, that doesn't mean you have to accept that the abnormal is normal.
Moving on, though, I was wondering if we know how soon Ethan Peck will be showing up "in the flesh.
Did I say it was?
Smarmy response aside, owning a dictionary has nothing to do with how I feel about DSC being a prequel to TOS.
Wasn’t trying to win an argument. Not sure why you thought I was.
season 1 had a relatively fast pace when it came to their mysteries. almost every time they set up something and I thought "well, this is where the story will go for the next 4 episodes or so", boom just next episode we had a conclusion to that thing. so judging by that, even though I think episode 5 is the earlies we will see him, I will not be surprised if he shows up next week
Some of the spectators in a sports arena may "feel" a ball was out of bounds when it was called in, but their feelings won't affect how the game is played. There were fans back in 1979 and the early '80s who insisted that the TOS movies weren't legitimate sequels. There were fans who insisted TNG wasn't a legitimate sequel. There are always fans who "feel" that the new version doesn't fit -- and it never, ever takes, because the people who only watch the game don't get to make the calls. There is an objective reality that transcends your feelings, no matter how much you pretend it's the other way around.
Yeah, except I know my feelings are my own, and don't really care what others think. I like DSC, I bought the blurays, I'm looking forward to season 2, but I think that it fails as a 10-year-prior prequel to TOS. Almost everything about the show could have been told as a post-TUC story, or even a post-NEM story. To me, there's nothing about season 1 that remotely connects it to TOS other than some name-dropping. Perhaps this will change in season 2 and beyond.
Well it's impossible to have Pike post-TOS. So it already has.
Bringing Pike aboard, to me, is a direct response to season 1, and the producers trying to sweep it under the rug and get back to making the show more like TOS. Which is fine by me.
And you've missed the point.
DSC is a Prequel to TOS; that is an objective fact whether you like it or not and whether you "feel like it fits" or not.
You're entitled to your opinion, but it is ultimately irrelevant, and trying to insinuate that recognizing the basic fact that DSC is a Prequel to TOS "creates a false narrative and false expectations" is going beyond just " sticking to your guns" on this; it's peddling "alternative facts".
The problem with this line of thinking is that it once again disregards the facts, which are that DSC was always going to undergo a shift in tone (which is something we've known since before Season 1 even premiered).
If you don't care what others think, why are you participating in a public discussion board?
No, you missed the point. I'm free to voice my opinion, whether it matters to you or anyone else, or not. Or whether it's irrelevant or not. Just like you are free to voice yours. Are we done now?
Sorry, wasn't aware that not caring what others think about my opinions disqualifies me from having discussions at the TrekBBS. Perhaps you could quote me the rule that states this?
^ DSC being a Prequel to TOS isn't an opinion.
No, it isn't.
